Rio Rancho-based Alta Data Technologies releases a mini-embedded mezzanine board for MIL-STD-1553 networks MEZ-E 1553, which provides 1-2 dual redundant 1553A/B/C channels with an Ethernet backplane interface on a small 3.6×5-6 cm PCB. The product is available in Dual (BC/BM) or Full Function (BC/mRT/BM) models.
“We’ve had several customers ask us to provide the inner workings of our popular, real-time Ethernet-1553 converter, ENET, for their embedded systems, and this resulted in the new MEZ-E1553 product. Customers can quickly integrate this small mezzanine PCB into their system, and utilize the same AltaAPI SDK software as our other products, often without even recompiling their application. For new customers, the Berkley socket layer means the MEZ-E1553 will work with almost any operating system. The MEZ-E1553 complements our Mini PCI Express embedded cards (MPCI2-1553) for systems like Com Express,” states Harry Wild, VP of Sales for Alta.
Jake Haddock, CTO of Alta adds, “We offer a design reference card with complete schematics, STEP 3-d files and breck-out cables for bench testing. The customer can connect the MEZDEV-E01 board to their development computer via Ethernet and write their application while designing the hardware. The MEZ-E1553 is ideal for any rugged, custom requirement. The product also includes signal capture (o-scope) capability for troubleshooting 1553 cable issues, and cybersecurity signal modeling.”
